Militairy of the Hanseatic cities

[David M]

Hi!

I am looking for something on the history of the hanseatic cities militairy (basically pre 1866). Most I find is 1871<....Would there be an overview (maybe of just one of the cities) of the complete militairy history? I am mostly interested in the after 1815- and pre 1866 era.

Did have a look around on the internet, but could not find anything

Thanks so much

I don't think they really had much of a military history in that period.

Here is a site with some information on the 1848/49 revolutions in Hamburg, but the military involvement there is mostly Prussian. The Hamburg citizen militia played only a minor role.

Hi Dave

Thanks that's great....I seem to remember a book I once saw at zvab.com (should have bought it...I know) which was about I think hamburgian militairy history and included the era 1815<. Maybe I'll contact the archives in Hamburg to see what they know.
